SICK
A day before Wests vaccinated wife got the virus, the Texas gubernatorial candidate spoke to a packed indoor crowd of unmasked supporters.

Right-winger Allen West has suspended in-person events for his Texas gubernatorial campaign because he developed COVID symptoms after his wife tested positive.
In a Saturday morning Twitter thread, the Trump-loving ex-congressman said he has not gotten the COVID vaccine but is already taking Hydrochloroquine and Ivermectin protocolstwo unproven drugs popular with the anti-vaxxer crowd.
After taking COVID and flu shots, Angela West tested positive for COVID yesterday, Friday, the tweet said.
Col. West is experiencing a low grade fever and light body aches. Out of concern for public health, Col. West is suspending in-person events until receiving an all-clear indication.

Boy, with Abbott and West, they've got some real winners in Texas gubernatorial politics.

(197 posts)Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate Allen West, who is not vaccinated against COVID-19, tweeted on Saturday that he may be admitted to the hospital after a chest X-ray showed he has pneumonia caused by the virus.
Theres a concern about my oxygen saturation levels, which are at 89 and they should be at 95, West tweeted, adding in a follow-up tweet, My chest X-rays do show COVID pneumonia, not serious. I am probably going to be admitted to the hospital.

(197 posts)At the time I posted this, I didn't notice another thread on the topic. I posted there that
We give supplemental oxygen to patients to maintain blood oxygen saturation of 92% to 96%. Its important to note that only patients on supplemental oxygen benefit from the life-saving effects of glucocorticoids, Sotoodehnia said. On average our hypoxemic patients had an oxygen saturation of 91% when they came into the hospital, so a huge number of them were already well below where we wouldve administered life-saving measures. For them, that care was delayed.
The study's primary measure was all-cause in-hospital mortality. Overall, 197 patients died in the hospital. Compared to those admitted with normal blood oxygen, hypoxemic patients had a mortality risk 1.8 to 4.0 times greater, depending on the patients blood oxygen levels. Similarly, compared to patients admitted with normal respiratory rates, those with tachypnea had a mortality risk 1.9 to 3.2 times greater.
